Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Mid- to dark reddish brown with some translucency. Big chocolate malts, some plummy character. Sweet taste, lots of gritty Ovaltiney malt. Some bitterness right at the finish. Thin body with soft carbonation. I think it's pretty good, perplexed by all the lower rates.
